More textures

I'm loving Photoshop and textures right now.  Playing with them, seeing which textures work or don't work with a photo is really interesting to me. I get a high when I take a good photo and when I add a texture that takes it up a notch, I can hardly contain myself.  I'm a dork, I know. 

There's nothing particularly fabulous about this photo.  It's not a unique shot but something we've all seen on a million greeting cards.  The lighting wasn't good, it's dark on one side and the rose on the far right is blown out.   However.... the roses were a housewarming gift from a neighbor yesterday. I thought the peach color would look good against the dark grey above our fireplace and snapped away.  I'm having some cards printed at Costco ($7.99 for 10) and will send her a thank you card for the roses with them. In that regard, I think it's pretty cool.

What amazes me is that you can take a not so perfect picture and really make it special.   This texture adds to the feeling of the photo in my opinion. And really, isn't my opinion the only one that matters at this point?
